FARE-BOX.-

Application filed July 27, 1912.

To aZZ 'whom @'15 may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY GEBHART, a .citizen of the United States,residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Fare-Boxes, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description. Y

My invention has four principal objects: to facilitate the work of thespotter in determing whether or not the conductor accounts for everypassenger who boards his car; to render the fares inaccessible to theperson who removes them from the fare box; to cancel all tickets as theypass into the fare box; to furnish a printed statement showing thenumber of full fare passengers, half fare passengers, the total ofpassengers, the number of the fare box, and the direction of the car.

Other objects and advantages will be referred to later.

operating the trip indicator, printing ribbon and paper feed mechanism.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings is a base and 26 the casing which incloses themechanism and other parts of my fare box. At the top of the casing adisplay chamber 27 is formed. This may be of any suitable construction,have any desired form of aperture for the reception of fares, and beprovided with such baffles as may be desired. All of the foregoing beingwell known and, as they form no part of my present invention, it is notnecessary to describe them in detail.

Obviously, as the name display chamber suggests, a portion or portionsof the inclosure should be glass. Referring to Fig. l in particular, 28is a turn stile comprising a pair of disks 29 united by radiating plates60, of which there are four. The turn stile is mounted on a rotatableshaft 31. The upg wardly extending plate 30 registers with the loweredge of the baille 82 which serves to direct the fares to the space 33,at the bottom of which they are received by the horizontal plate 30,where they can be inspected by the conductor before being dropped intothe canceling device below. The canceling device consists of a pair ofhorizontal rollers mounted to rotate with their peripheries in contact.Each of the rollers has a succession of deep annular grooves, thegrooves in one roller being opposite those in the other. The annularribs thereby formed are provided with printing devices which will printtickets as they pass between the rollers, each of the ribs acting as aplaten for the printing devices on the opposing rib. Having passedthrough the canceling device the fare is dropped into the till (see Fig.l). The till B5 is lodged in a compartment provided for its receptionand though in Fig. 1 it is shown with the lid 36 in place it is to beunderstood that when the fare box is in operation the lid will not be onthe till.

Referring to Fig. 12 the upper portion of the till is seen to have aflange 37 which, when the till is in the fare compartment, is engaged bya locking bolt 38, of which there are in fact two. The till cannot beremoved from the compartment until the lid is put on.

Referring to Fig. 1 it will be seen that the casing 26 has an openingthrough which the lid may be introduced and inserted between the guides39 and 40.v The forward edge of the lid is provided with a raisedportion 41 which engages the bolts 38 and lifts them clear of the flange37 thereby eliminating the bolts 38 as obstacles to the removal of thetill.V The till has a spring lock 42 whosebolt`43 engages in a groove 44in the lid thereby preventing the lid being removed. The key hole of thelock is at the rear of the till; therefore the lid cannot be removedfrom the till while it remains in the compartment. The lock 42 issupported on a plate 45 projecting from the rear wall of the till; it isplaced a sufficient distance from said wall to allow space for a bolt 46which, beingbifurcated, straddles the cylinder 47 of the lock.Compression springs 48 tend to thrust the bolt 46 upward. Vhen the tillis placed in the compartment the upper end of the bolt 46 engages in arecess 49 in the top plate 50 of the compartment and is another elementpreventing withdrawal of the till.

Referring to F ig. 2 it will be seen that the portion of the bolt 46which enters the recess 49 is quite narrow; very much narrower than thebolt 43. The lower edge of the forward end of the till cover is beveledand a longitudinal slot 51 is formed in the end of the cover whichstraddles the upper end of the bolt 46. lVhen the cover is pushed inplace the beveled lower edge engages the broad portion of the bolt 46and cams it downward thereby withdrawing its end from the recess 49.Before this happens, however, the bolt 43 of the lock will have beencammed downward by the bevel edge of the lid. hen this occurs the lowerend of thebolt 43, which protrudes from the lock and passes through theplate 45, will have pushed the plunger 52, secured to the rear wall ofthe till by suitable guide pins 53, downward and into the recess 54 inthe base 25. Therefore, though the bolts 38 are lifted clear of theflange 37 and the bolt 46 is withdrawn from the recess 49 the tillcannot be withdrawn until the plunger 52 is withdrawn from the recess54, which occurs when the bolt 43 falls into the recess 44. The spring55 then lifts the plunger 52 out of the recess 54, thereby releasing thetill from all restraint. It is obvious, from the foregoing, that therelease of the till is conditional upon the lid being locked. Therefore,the person who removes the till from the register has no opportunitywhatever to remove the contents from the till unless he has a key to thelock 42.

The fare box is mounted upon a suitable pedestal at the entrance of thecar and is operated by two foot pedals (not shown), each of which isconnected to one of the pull rods, 60 and 61. The rod 60 is attached toa lever 62 by a slot and pin connection, while ,a link 67. Levers 68 and69 loosely mounted on the rock shaft are connected respectively tocounters 70 and 71 by links 72 and 73. A detailed description of thecounters is not necessary as their construction forms no part of mypresent invention, it being sufficient to say that any one of severalwell known.

forms of counters will answer the purpose, provided the numerals areadapted to print. The levers 68 and 69 carry rollers 74 which lieagainst cam faces on rods 60 and 61. l/Vhen one of the rods is pulleddownward it carries with it the lever to which it is attached, therebyrocking the shaft 64, while its cam face 75 rocks the counter lever itis associated with. Springs 77 return and hold the counter levers intheir normal position. They also, through their contact with the camfaces 75, sustain the pull rods. Spring 78 returns the shaft 64 tonormal position. When a rod is moved the pin by which the other rod isconnected to its lever moves idly in the slot and does not move theother rod, the slots being arcual. It is therefore seen that the counter66 registers one each time either pedal is operated, while the counter70 counts only when the rod 60 is operated and the counter 71 registerswhen the rod 61 is operated. The counter 70 is used to register halffares and the counter 71 to register full fares. Obviously, the counter66 registers the total fares.

The lever 63 is connected by a link 8O to a i lever 81 which is looselymounted on the shaft 31. (See Figs. 2, 5 and 6). A four toothed ratchetwheel 82 loosely mounted on the shaft 31 is moved one-fourth of arevolution at each operation of the machine by a pawl 83, carried by thelever 81. The inner' end of a spiral spring 84 is attached to the shaft31 while its outer end is attached by a coupling 85 to a Vdrum 86loosely mounted upon the shaft 31 between the spring and the ratchetwheel and secured to the latter. On the other side of the spring a drum87 is rigidly secured to the shaft 31, and has four projecting lugs 88equally spaced upon its periphery. These lugs are longitudinallystaggered. A block 89 is mounted to slide freely upon a suitable supportand is provided with a projection 90 adapted to be moved into the pathof one of the lugs 88 and prevent rotation of the drum 87. A projection91 at the other end of the block is adapted to be engaged by cams 92 onthe drum 86. There are four of these cams, equally spaced about theperiphery of the drum. Opposite cams are adapted to shift the block 89in one direction while the intermediate cams are adapted to shift it inthe other direction. Assuming the spring 84 is Linder suitable initialtension and that rotation of the drum 87 is prevented by one of the lugs88 resting upon the projection 90, when one of the foot pedals isactuated and the shaft 64 rocked, the pawl 83 rotates the ratchet wheel82 and drum 86 which is rigidly secured to the ratchet wheel, one-fourthof a revolution, thereby increasing the tension of the spring. Towardthe latter part of the movement of the ratchet wheel one of the cams 92moves the block 89 to a point where the lug 90 passes from in front ofthe lug 88 which it has until then engaged, thereby releasing the drum87 and permitting it to rotate. The lug 90 in moving away from aforesaidlug 88 has, however, moved into the path of the next lug 88 which,engaging the lug 90, stops the drum 87 when it has moved one-fourth of arevolution. The turn stile 28 being rigidly secured to the shaft 31 willhave also moved one-fourth of a revolution, dropping fares which havebeen deposited in the displayer on to the rollers of the cancelingdevice.

The construction just described has two special advantages: the rapidmovement of the turn stile after it is released practically removes thepossibility, even during a rush, of a fare being passed to the cancelingdevice without giving the conductor an opportunity to inspect it. Thefact that after the turn stile begins to move it is beyond the power ofthe conductor to prevent it completing its movement, practicallyprecludes the possibility of his tampering with the mechanism. Theoperation of the turnstile is in fact semi-automatic; c'. e., energy isaccumulated by pressing the pedal, then at the proper time the turnstileVis unlocked and the accumulated energy operates the turnstile.

Each of the pull rods, 60 and 61, is provided with a full strokemechanism 76 (see Fig. 3). Each pull rod has also a projection 95 which,as the rod moves downward, engages a sliding lock 96 (see Fig. 4) andthrusts it into the path of the projection 95 carried by the other pullrod, the object being to prevent the rods 60 and 61 being operatedsimultaneously. The link 80 carries a pawl 97 which upon each operationof the machine engages the end of the bell hammer 98. This bell hammeris pivoted at 99 to a fixture 100 which also acts as a nut to secure thebell to the frame work of the machine. The position of the center 99with reference to the end of the bell hammer, together with the actionof the link 80 as controlled by its supporting members 63 and 81 causesa gradual recession of the pawl 97 toward the end of the bell hammer,which may be of such length that it will slip past the end of the pawlat approximately the end of the downward stroke of either pedal. Uponthe return of the pedal the pawl 97 rocks upon its pivot and passes theend of the bell hamgier, finally resuming the position shown in Atoothed sector 105 is rigidly secured to the rock shaft 64: and mesheswith a pinion 106 secured to a ratchet wheel 107 loosely mounted upon astud carried by the frame of the machine. A gear 108 mounted upon thesame stud is enmeshed with a pinion 109 rigidly secured to a shaft 110,upon which is rigidly mounted the roller 111 of the canceling device. Apair of pawls 112 is mounted on the gear 108 and engage the teeth of theratchet wheel 107. Upon the downward stroke of either pedal the sector105 rotates the pinion and ratchet wheel in a counter clockwisedirection (see Fig. 13) the pawls 112 riding over the teeth of theratchet wheel without moving the gear 108. Upon the return movement ofthe pedal the pinion and ratchet wheel are rotated in the oppositedirection, which through the medium of the pawls 112 drives the gear 108and through the several elements previously referred to drives theroller 111. The canceling roller 113 has a shaft 114i which is journaledin horizontal slots 115 and is drawn toward the roller 111 by springs116. The ribbed construction oi the rollers, which are preferablyrubber, enables the rollers to handle fares of different sortssimultaneously, e. g.: if both coins and tickets have been deposited,the ribs between which a coin or coins are confined may be compressedwithout causing compression of the remainder of the ribs. This, togetherwith the fact that each rib bears printing devices, which in the presentinstance are designed to print the word Canceled, practically insuresthat each ticket passing through the canceling device will be marked.The roller 113 is frictionally driven by the roller 111. Tnking rollers117 apply ink to the printing device as the rollers rotate.

From the foregoing description it is clear that all fares which are inthe displayer at the time a pedal is pressed will be dropped into thecanceling device upon the downward stroke of the pedal and passedthrough the canceling device upon the return stroke. In other words,each operation of the pedal transfers all fares from the displayer tothe till.

A shield 120 pivotally mounted on the frame of the machine normallycovers the entrance to the guides 39 and 40 of the till and prevents thecover being put on the till. An arm 121 attached to said shield isconnected by a link 122 to the sector 105. At each downward stroke of apedal the shield 120 is thereby rocked to the position it occupies inFig. 1. Therefore, when the till is to be removed the first thingnecessary is to actuate one of the pedals, after which the lid may beplaced on the till and the till withdrawn from the fare compartment inthe manner already described. A sliding pawl 123 mounted upon theoutside of the fare compar'tment, has a horizontally extending lug 124carrying a plunger 125 which passes through an aperture in the rear wallof the fare compartment, and is pushed outward when the till is placedin the compartment. The other end of the pawl 123 carries a projection126 adapted to engage between two teeth of the gear 108. `When the tillis withdrawn a spring 127 draws the pawl into the position shown in Fig.13 and locks the gear 108. While the gear 108 is locked the pedal cannotreturn upward; therefore, should there Abe any fares in the displayer atthe time the lid is put on the till it will be impossible for them topass through the displayer and drop into the fare compartment after thetill has been removed. This is to prevent the operation of the machinewithout the till being in the compartment. lhe till cover is made longenough so that after it is on the till the shield 120 will strike thelid immediately the pedal starts upward and prevent further movement ofthe pedal or the other portions of the mechanism. This provisionprevents thel machine being operated with a lid on the till. andprecludes the possibility of allowing fares to accumulate on the top ofthe lid, which, after the till is removed might be secured by the personremoving the till.

The figures on the counters 66, and 71 are raised so they may be usedfor printing `a record. A roll of paper 130 is mounted on a shaftjournaled in notches cut in plates 135 and the end of the paper, passesover guide pins 131 and between rollers 132 and 133. A shaft 134 is-iournaled in the plates 135. A disk 136 is rigidly secured to saidshaft, and has a notch 137 in which a pawl 138 normally lies. A sleeve139 loosely mounted on the shaft carries a gear 140, which in turncarries a pin 141 normally reposing in an aperture formed in the disk136, thereby coupling the gear and disk together. A knob 142 having aninternal screw. thread is screwed on to the threaded exterior of thesleeve 139. A compression spring on the outside of the shank of the knob142, confined between the gear 140 and casing 26, tends to keep the gear140 against the disk 136. A pair of cams 145 is rigidly secured to theshaft 1.34. A platen 146 mounted to slide vertically in suitable guidesformed on the plates 135 has a rigidly secured rod 147, having recesses148 coincident with the cams 145. Springs 149 tend to lift the platen,which tendency is restrained by the cams. At the end of each trip, or atsuch intervals as directed, the conductor turns the knob- 142 and almostimmediately the apeX of the cams pass beyond the edges of the recesses148 thereby releasing the platen and permitting it to strike the paperand cause an impression to be printed thereon by the type on the counterwheels. An endless ink ribbon 150 passing around a drum 151 and guides152 is interposed between the counter wheels and the paper. The pawl 138normally keeps the disk 136 in position shown in Fig. 3 and when theshaft is rotated the pawl dropping into the notch 137 acts as a signalto show that a knob has been'turned far enough. A stationary type 155bears numbers or other symbols identifying the particular fare box inwhich the printing record is made. After printing the record, if it isdesired to set one or more of the counters to zero, the knob 142 ispulled outward to disengage the pin 141 from the disk 136. 1n doing sothe gear 140 is brought into enmeshment with a gear 156 carried by thecounter shaft 157. Before the gear 156 can be rotated, however, a key158 which, inserted through an aperture in the casing 26 passes throughan aperture in the gear 156 and into a guide aperture in the plate 135,must be withdrawn. The knob 142 may then be rotated one or mo-re timesas desired.

A gear 160 rigidly secured to the shaft 134 meshes with a gear 161rigidly Vsecured to a sleeve 162 loosely mounted on the counter shaft157. The gear 161 in turn meshes with the gear 163 rigidly secured to ashaft 164, on the other end of which is rigidly secured a trip indicator165 bearing the words In `and Out or words of similar import. Then thepawl 138 is in the notch 137 one of the words is visible through a sightopening 166 in the casing 26. A printing wheel 167 rigidly secured tothe one end of the sleeve 162 has upon its periphery .the words 1n andOut in such position that when one of said words is visible through thesight opening the corresponding word is in position to be printed on therecord slip. The gear 160 having half the number of teeth of the gears161 and 163 it is clear that for each complete revolution of the knob142, in other words each time a record is printed the trip indicator isreversed. Therefore, the records will be .alternately marked In and Outetc. A pawl 168 mounted on the plate 135 (see Fig. 4) engages the teethof gear 161 and prevents retrograde movement of the knob 142.

The paper feed roll 132 and the ribbon drum 151 are rigidly secured totheir respective shafts. Upon each of said shafts a ratchet wheel 170 isrigidly-secured, and

a lever 171 is loosely mounted on each shaft, carrying a pawl 172adapted to engage the teeth of the adjacent ratchet wheel. The levers171 are connected by links 173 to a pin 174 located off center on thegear 160. The pin 174 is located in such position that the initialmovement of the knob 142 imparts but slight movement to the links 173;moreover, the total throw of the levers 170 being greater than thedistance between adjacent teeth of the ratchet wheel the pawls 172 arenot in position to act upon the ratchet wheels immediately. Therefore,neither the paper feed roll nor ribbon drum move until after theprinting impression is made. The printed record after passing betweenthe rolls 132 and 133 accumulates loosely in a recess 175, which isclosed by a locked lid 17 G.

A lever 180 pivotally supported on lthe plate 135 has an extension 181which is engaged and depressed by the oblique end 182 of the key 158when it is inserted. When the key is withdrawn an extension 183 on thelever 180 engages a notch 184 in the disk 136 and locks said diskagainst rotation. The free end of the lever 180 is connected by a link185 to one lever of bell crank 186. The other lever of said bell crankis attached by a slot and pin connection to a pawl 187 rigidly securedto a rock shaft 188 (see F ig. 4), said shaft having a similar pawl,187, at its other end. (Second pawl 187 not shown in drawings). Each ofthe pawls 187 is adapted, when the key 158 is withdrawn, to engage in anotch 189 in one of the pull rods. Therefore, when the key is withdrawnthe pull rods are also locked.

l/Vith the conductor under orders to register each passenger who boardsthe car, a spotter can readily check up the work of the conductor:stationing himself where he can observe the number of persons who boardthe car he can count the bell strokes and tell whether or not each onehas been registered. If he cannot find a position where he can see thepassengers as they board the car, he may, by counting the passengersaboard when he gets on and adding the number to the number ofregistrations made after he gets on, see if the total agrees with thenumber of passengers on the car when he gets 0E plus those who have leftthe car while he was aboard. Other ways may be devised for utilizing thebell as a checking means. The conductor will be eX- pected to have afare in the box to represent every passenger registered.

Having all cash and tickets (the latter canceled) in the till, and thetill so constructed that it is impossible for the person who removes itto gain access to its contents, is a great step in the desireddirection. All this is supplemented, however, by

the printed record, which, locked in a separate recess, is inaccessibleto and therefore a check upon the person authorized to remove thecontents of the till.

It is to be understood that the conductor is held responsible for thecharacter of fares he permits passengers to ride on, as the displayerenables him to inspect coins and tickets before they are transferred tothe till. But during rush periods, when fares are being depositedV inrapid succession, often two or more at once, it is as much as he can doto give the fares the required inspection and press the pedal for eachpassenger. Therefore, actuating the registering and transferringmechanism simultaneously and by one action on the part of the conductoris practically essential. Were he required to register and transferfares by separate actions he would almost inevitably be compelled toneglect one or the other at times; he could not then be held responsiblefor mistakes in registration or for worthless coins or tickets found inthe till. If the conductor registers the passengers as they pass intothe car there will never be more than a few, and usually but one, farein the displayer. The great rapidity with which the turn stile movespractically precludes the possibility of a belated fare passing throughwith those the conductor has inspected.

I do not wish to be understood as limiting my invention to the specificconstruction shown as various departures may be made therefrom whileremaining within the scope of my claims.
